After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

Pei Jiaoran fled Chen's house as fast as he could, and stood in the dark corner on one side for a while. She smoothed the creases on her sleeves that she had pulled out, and walked out calmly with her head held high. On the way, I happened to meet two officials from Yushitai, both of whom had sorrow on their faces.

When the two men came towards each other, Pei Jiaoran stepped aside and passed them by. When the footsteps were far away, she continued moving forward.

When we walked out of Chongkangfang, the theater crowd had dispersed. The streets were lively and peaceful again, and Pei Jiaoran looked at the drainage ditch beside him. There was a lot of mud accumulated in the ditch, which was also covered with a layer of fallen leaves, and mottled blood could be faintly seen.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Jiaoran turned around and walked in the direction of Chongyifang.

She still has her own way to go.

Before he entered Chongyifang, he was stopped by the officials of Yushitai, saying that Master Cui had urgently summoned all the censors.

Pei Jiaoran nodded and frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what it is?"

"It seems to be about Chen Shiyu." Li Zuo sighed and handed the reins to her, "I don't know who is so bold as to dare to murder the censor."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran didn't answer, and got on his horse with an indifferent expression. He whipped his whip and rushed to the palace, handed the fish talisman to the door before setting it up, and waited for the city guarding sergeant to check the door registration before he rode slowly to the censor's platform.

"Vice-duty." The servant guarding the door called.

After saying this, several people in the room turned their heads and looked at the door.

Pei Jiaoran took off his boots at the door and walked slowly inside. Sensing the dull atmosphere in the room, a trace of solemnity appeared on her face.

Everyone arrived at the Yushitai, and the servant at the door carefully closed the door.

"I think everyone already knows about Chen Shiyu's murder." Master Cui took a sip of tea and looked at Pei Jiaoran with worry, "Pei Shiyu, Zuozang is under your supervision, and Chen Shiyu is responsible for assisting him. Now he You were harmed by a thief, I am very worried about you."

"Don't worry, Master, I will be more careful," Pei Jiaoran said in a low tone.

Chen Shiyu originally died due to her deliberate use, and most of the perpetrators were Zhang Rang's people.

Where can the stolen property from Zuo Zangku be kept? Not in the east and west cities, they would only be in the hands of eunuchs. The fundamental reason why she designed Chen Shiyu was to use his hands to put Zuo Zangku in a land without owner. Then he used the excuse of insufficient military expenditure to lure the Divine Strategy Bureau to get involved. After a while last night, Lieutenant Liu had probably already started thinking about Zuo Zangku.

Now that she has taken refuge with Zhang Rang, she must consider her own position first in her actions. At least from the current point of view, among Zhang Rang's party, the You Shence Army headed by Lieutenant Liu will be a good partner compared to Zhang Rang and others who are greedy for power.

Hearing Pei Jiaoran's words, Master Cui nodded, "I was very angry when I heard that Chen Shiyu was killed. I have issued an order to Wannian County Magistrate to immediately review the case and find the real culprit." After speaking, he glanced at Yuan Yanchong said, "Yuan Shiyu, you should pay more attention to this matter."

"Here."

"I know that there is a shortage of people in Xitui now. I have informed Wang and Jia, so I will leave it to Pei Shiyu to take care of it for the time being." Turning to look at Pei Jiaoran, Master Cui frowned slightly, "Now is the time to be on guard. Autumn. News came from Fengzhou that there were frequent movements in the Turks today. Something like this happened in Zuozangku again. After that, Pei Shiyu, you have to be careful about the cashier affairs."

"Here." Pei Jiaoran nodded.

After asking about the affairs of each department as usual, Master Cui waved his hand with a tired look on his face and motioned for everyone to go back.

The meeting at Yushitai ended and everyone left one after another.

Because there was a lack of people in Zhidui, Pei Jiaoran had to stay and deal with the affairs piled up in Chen Shiyu's hands. Although there are officials assisting her, she still has to do some things herself.

After three days of busy work at the Yushitai, the news finally came from Wannian County.

It is said that the culprit who murdered Chen Shiyu has been found. He is a gangster who caused trouble outside Chang'an City. In the county jail, he confessed that he disguised himself and went into the city to rob. That night when he saw Chen Shiyu coming home alone, he became suspicious of thieves. Originally, he just wanted to rob money, but he accidentally beat the person to death and threw the person into the drainage ditch in a panic to cover up the truth.

When I heard this, I was furious and sentenced the thief to death by hanging. Wannian County was also ordered to immediately dispatch government officials to suppress the bandits, but to no avail. In the end, it was Zuo Shence Army who took the initiative to join the army, and Lieutenant Tian led two hundred Shence elites to suppress the bandits. After a night of fierce fighting, numerous bandits were killed, and the bandit leader was taken to Shence Prison to await execution.

After learning about this, Shang Longyan was overjoyed and ordered Zhang Rang to fund Zuo Shence's army from Zuo Zangtang, and each of them was rewarded with two hundred pieces of brocade.

The leader and adjutant of Zuozang Treasury also rearranged the candidates. Both of them were members of the You Shence Army and were recommended to Jinshang by Lieutenant Liu. With the approval of this emperor, he can be appointed as Zuozangku Ling and Cheng.

After all, they were from the You Shence Army, and even though they were civil servants, the two of them looked murderous. The chamberlain who came here on Zhang Rang's order did not dare to say anything. Under the watchful eyes of the two men, he took the brocade required for the reward and left quickly.

"Pei Shiyu, these are the items Zuozang cashiered this time." Han Zuozangcheng handed her the account book.

After taking the account book and checking it carefully, Pei Jiaoran nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

"As for Pei Shiyu." Zhu Zuozangling looked around, "These eunuchs are usually very arrogant, but this time they are much more honest."

After saying this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said nothing. For Zhang Rang, although he was not willing to let Lieutenant Liu's men control Zuozang, it was still better than falling into Wang Yu's hands. Therefore, he acquiesced in Lieutenant Liu's transgression.

Anyway, no matter what, they still control Zuozang now.

"No. They are really generous to the Left Army today. They will reward two hundred pieces of brocade for ordinary bandits. If there is a foreign expedition, will the Right Army still have military expenses?" Han Zuozangcheng frowned dissatisfied.

Listening to the conversation between the two, a dark look flashed across Pei Jiaoran's eyes.

"I heard a few days ago that the Turks seemed to have aggressive intentions?" Pei Jiaoran looked at the two of them and asked softly.

Her voice is soft. The two looked towards her and looked at each other.

"This is true. The Turks have been very peaceful in the past few years, but recently, for some unknown reason, they send troops to harass us from time to time." Zhu Zuozangling sighed and frowned: "I'm afraid they have something big to do."

"If that's the case, Lieutenant Liu will have to lead the army to conquer again. I hope that this time the imperial court will provide enough military expenditures, and we can drive the Turks to the Yinshan Mountains like we did during Emperor Wen's time."

"Not just the Turks, it's best to fight back the Tibetans and Uighurs as well. Then deal hard with Heshuo's gang."

Listening to the two voices, Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes. Although she also hopes that the imperial court can restore its former glory, she understands that with the constant fighting between parties and the various parties restraining each other, how can it be the same as before? Especially raising military expenditures will not be that simple.

However, if the Turks really raise troops to invade the country, this may be an excellent opportunity.

After thinking about it, Pei Jiaoran said goodbye to the two of them and left with the excuse that the Censor had important matters in Taichung.
